Being in HR the things needs to be done while relocating are -

1- Be Transparent- Transparency is the prime importance when it comes to relocation .

It's a highly related to welfare of staff. For e.g. by clearly communication with line
management either though emails/ website or personal mention the reason for moving,
changes to employee contract etc. By this the Line management would be able to pass
the message more clearly to rest of the staff. Keeping Line management informed
throughout every stage of relocation process and open to any ideas coming from them
that might be implemented in the new office. Give training on the change management
to line managers so as to handle the snagging issues that crop up once the company
has moved to new location .

2- Holding employee Forum - It will provide the great platform for employees as well as
line management to ask questions on various issues such employment contract , legal
advice etc. It gives HR also a chance to clear the air from confusion and negativity.
Moreover it gives feedback on the company culture, working practice. This can be done
visa organization social platform on intranet.HR could also delegate a separate team
which will only deals with the queries related to relocation . Apart from that for any legal
matters HR will consult the legal agencies so that the employees could get best and
right information about their employee contract. HR also could also arrange for separate
transportation team for answering all the queries related to help employees who will
have problems regarding their commute to new location.

3- Showcase the Company's brand - It is important that employees feel enthused about
their new premises. Telling the employees about the new office with its infrastructure
and new build technology will help employees to buy in . HR can have section on the
company website about the new office location and design progress showing what
addition have been put into the new premises and why it is beneficial for us. Apart from
showcasing the company's infrastructure , HR could highlights some business related

advantage which company will incur if it moves to new location, such as close proximity
with existing client which will decrease the commuting expenditure in client visit.
Highlight other's big tech companies which are there and there are chances of business
expansion by growing network with those companies. How this will not only benefit the
organization but also employees as it will bring more work and less expenditure.

process smoothly and efficiently so that any organization can achieve its goals without
any difficulties and we can say Human resource effects the future of an organization .
